In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a face representation of the former detached from its support and in which the shield is placed over the former. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but in which the shield has shed the'fingers of the former. Fig. 3 shows the comb laying the fourchettes. Fig. 4 is a face representation of the comb. Fig. 5 is an edge view of the comb. Fig. 6 shows the former and shield supported in the socket. Fig. 7 is a section on line f f Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a section on line e c Fig. 7. Fig. 9is a section on line 6 e Fig. 7 showing the center portion of the former and shield. Fig. 10 is a section on line a a Fig. 3. Fig. 11 is a section on line b b Fig. 2. Fig. 12 is a section on line 0 c Fig. 1. Fig. 13 ,is a section on line (1 d Fig. 2.

The former has the hand portion 1 and the fingers 4. The shield 2 fits over the hand portion of the former and has open fingers 5. The comb 3 has three teeth 6. The former is provided with a cylindrical proiection 7 having two studs 8 extending radially therefrom. A bracket 9 has a clamping screw 10. From the bracket extends a tubular socket 11 which has an annular recess 12 in its upper portion and has cut-away portions 13. The projection 7 is located in the socket and the studs 8 enter the recess 12 through the cut-away portions 13, and when the projection is turned axially the former is held against removal in connection with the socket. The former is provided with a slot 14 having its ends formed with circular enlargements 15 and 16. A turn button 17 is supported by the shield and is located in the slot 14 in the former. When the shield is in the position shown at Figs. 1 and 8 the turn button is turned in the enlargement 16 transverse to the slot 14, which will lock the shield in connection with the former in order that the fingers of the former and shield. When the shield is moved in connection with the former as shown at Fig. 2, the turn button will be turned in the enlargement 15 transfingers of the glove may be worked over the g verse to the slot 14, which will hold the shield elevated, and the comb 3 can be applied to lay the fourchettes of the glove 18 as shown at Fig. 3 By supporting the former in the bracket, the shield can be moved to shed the glove from the former,

and by making the former removable from the bracket, other sized formers can be held in connection therewith.
